The focus will be on the difference in story themes and style as well as analyzing the different ideologies those two held in regards to animation. This will be achieved through examining and analyzing not only the history of both men but also the early history of animation in Japan and USA respectively. Finally, a comparison of those two works will be done in order to show how the cultural differences affected the creation of those products. 3 Chapter Outline 1.

  • Beyond Breard
    Beyond Breard By Erik G. Luna* Douglas J. Sylvester** I. INTRODUCTION Angel Francisco Breard was no angel. Seven years after coming to the United States on a student visa,' the Paraguayan citizen was arrested and tried for the murder of Ruth Dickie. Forensic evidence at the scene of the crime undeniably pointed towards Breard's guilt.2 The most damning evidence, how- ever, came from the defendant's own mouth. On the stand, Breard admitted that he had armed himself on the night of the crime because he "wanted to use the knife to force a woman to have sex with [him]." 3 He engaged Dickie in a con- versation on the street and followed her home. Breard then forced his way into the woman's apartment and brutally murdered her.4 Breard's only defense at trial was that he acted under a Satanic curse placed upon him by his former father-in-law.5 As one might expect, the jury spumed this defense and convicted Breard on all counts. During the subsequent penalty phase of the trial, the twelve-person panel learned that the defendant had previ- ously attempted to abduct one woman at knifepoint and had sexually assaulted another female victim. Based on his "future dangerousness" to society and the "vileness" of the murder, Breard was sentenced to death.6 After numerous state and federal appeals, the thirty-two year-old convicted murderer was executed by lethal injection on April 14, 1998. 7 Without more, the Breard case was destined to be a mere footnote in the annals of death penalty jurisprudence.

WHITESELL Thou shalt neither vex a stranger, nor oppress him: for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt.1 INTRODUCTION The Vienna Convention on Consular Relations—a multilateral treaty signed by the president and ratified by the Senate2—delineates the rights of nations to conduct consular relations.3 Consular relations are the means by which nations protect the interests of their citizenry abroad, especially their nationals who are arrested for violating other nations’ criminal laws.4 The right to assist citizens charged with crimes abroad appears in Article 36 of the Vienna Convention. Article 36(1)(a) provides that countries may access and communicate with their citizens,5 and Article 36(1)(b) provides that, upon detention, foreign nationals must be informed that their consuls may assist them.6 Foreign nationals have contended that the Article 36(1)(b) Copyright © 2004 by Brittany P.

  • Niche Into Mainstream: How 90S Anime in the West Was Changed By
    Niche into Mainstream 1 Niche into Mainstream: How 90’s Anime was changed by Agenda-Setting Theory Malik Watson Agnes Scott College Niche into Mainstream 2 Abstract Media transforms minor topics into mainstream, and their perception changes over time. I’m going to examine American people’s perception towards anime and define the significance of the medium and how far it has come in America. I’m going to pay particular attention to Sailor Moon. Sailor Moon is a manga created by Naoko Takeuchi with the premise of an ordinary junior high student destined to fight evil. It was popular enough in Japan to warrant an anime series which spread to other western countries especially America. This case will show how the media affects two ways: on itself (anime) and people (fans). Niche into Mainstream 3 Part 1 “What is Anime?” Chances are, they watched anime before but didn’t realize it. The medium has a historical and cultural significance in the United States, which influences animation and has become a profitable industry in the country. Many Americans have tried to control it, yet this genre of art is too big to be handled and it’s still growing. Before I get too far, I need to explain anime’s meaning. Anime is Japanese for animation. To be clear, anime is the shortened form for animation. In Japan, Animation (anime-shon) is represented in katakana, a set of writing characters in the Japanese language, as アニメーション . The -tion (-shon ーション) suffix is removed leaving the prefix Anime (アニメ). In the country, the term is utilized to refer to all forms of animation.

  • China, Cambodia, and the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence: Principles and Foreign Policy
    China, Cambodia, and the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence: Principles and Foreign Policy Sophie Diamant Richardson Old Chatham, New York Bachelor of Arts, Oberlin College, 1992 Master of Arts, University of Virginia, 2001 A Dissertation presented to the Graduate Faculty of the University of Virginia in Candidacy for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Politics University of Virginia May, 2005 !, 11 !K::;=::: .' P I / j ;/"'" G 2 © Copyright by Sophie Diamant Richardson All Rights Reserved May 2005 3 ABSTRACT Most international relations scholarship concentrates exclusively on cooperation or aggression and dismisses non-conforming behavior as anomalous. Consequently, Chinese foreign policy towards small states is deemed either irrelevant or deviant. Yet an inquiry into the full range of choices available to policymakers shows that a particular set of beliefs – the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence – determined options, thus demonstrating the validity of an alternative rationality that standard approaches cannot apprehend. In theoretical terms, a belief-based explanation suggests that international relations and individual states’ foreign policies are not necessarily determined by a uniformly offensive or defensive posture, and that states can pursue more peaceful security strategies than an “anarchic” system has previously allowed. “Security” is not the one-dimensional, militarized state of being most international relations theory implies. Rather, it is a highly subjective, experience-based construct, such that those with different experiences will pursue different means of trying to create their own security. By examining one detailed longitudinal case, which draws on extensive archival research in China, and three shorter cases, it is shown that Chinese foreign policy makers rarely pursued options outside the Five Principles.
